A/N: I just seen the movie so HUGE SPOILERS included, but I had this idea that has been haunting so I typed it out as fast as I could. R&R.
Pandora
By: undeadshark
Dear board of RDA,
It was a simple mission: Find and mine up large quantity of the element Unobtainium on Pandora. To keep the dying planet Earth alive just that much long. As with every plan, it wasn't that easy. The native creatures of Pandora are to put it lightly hostile. To compound the problem of constant threat of attack to the Human's main colony affectedly known as Hell's Gate by the creatures of Pandora. The air itself is toxic to humans killing the individual in a matter of minutes. To top it all off, some of the problems comes from the native population of sentient beings called the Na'vi . These blue skinned, seven foot tall, monkeys are threatening to halt the entire mining operation on Pandora. Because the creatures are dim-willed and can be controlled. With the use of breathing masks, the toxic air is little more then an inconvenience. Attempts to try and work out a peaceful relationship with the Na'vi, have just about failed. W have tried talking and opening negotiations with them. We have build roads and, schools for them, it all just doesn't seem to work. They seem to be too blind and, stupid to understand the importance of what we have done for them, or they just seem to not want a peaceful coexistence with us here on Pandora.
That is where the AVATR program has, or was indented to fix. To most it just seems to have become a large pit where we just throw precious money, man power, and resources into. There is a bright side to it though, its failure, can be used as the reason for increased conflict/full scale war on Pandora. The perfect media scapegoat if the public's opinion goes south for the operations here. Until recently, after the last ship landed it seems we have made a breakthrough. It seems that a one Jake Sully has done what the scientist have seemed to have failed. He has infiltrated the Na'vi clan, and gained their trust, but more importantly he has provided absolutely essential Intel on the natives home base. Which, if negations fail-which seem to be absolute in the near future. Will be used to destroy their base, in a cost efficient way. After that is nuisance is taken care, we can start mining one of the biggest Unobtainium deposits in miles of the colony. In my honest option, I believe that the root of Sully's success is that, where as the scientist would ask stupid questions of "how does this work"?, "Why?", and other variety of these questions. Which, in my option anyone expose to those repetitive questions, Na'vi or human, would be incline to be resistant. As with Sully, they got a "warrior", someone who to some degree they could relate to and study for themselves for a change. He also, properly didn't ask questions and, made the experience more like a second basic training. That is why I'm requesting more soldiers not scientists be scripted into the AVATR program immediately. I know this is a large request, and that it takes a lot of money to create an Avatar. Think of this, if or when we defeat this tribe of Na'vi. There is bound to be more tribes just as stubborn as this one. So, why not use these new Avatars and their respected driver to infiltrate the tribes. It has worked this time and, I don't see them wising up anytime soon-the stupid monkeys
Sincerely,
Parker Selfridge.
Dear Parker Selfridge,
After careful deliberation, the board has decided to grant you your request for more avatars and will look forward to hearing about your continuous success. We will being sending the newly commissioned ISV Continuous Star, and the avatars in the matter of months. Along with dozen more MK-6 Amplified Mobility Platform
. To account for the ones that will be lost in the upcoming battle with the native Na'vi. So, with that in mind we are also sending about two hundred more solders and, we know you hate scientist but, a few more will be sent to compensate for those rotated out of their tours of duty, and to help with the tasks that the new Avatars will create. Here are the current Avatar drivers we have selected. Keep in mind that these are a two of the eight so far that will be sent to you ASAP.
Kyle McBrian, An ex-United States Army sniper with years of combat experience and Close-quarters combat expert.
John Hassing, ex-United States Special Forces Green Beret. With the same amount of combat experience.
We hope these individuals and the other like them, will make a difference in the foreseeable conflicts with the Na'vi. The board wishes you the best of luck in your future success on Pandora.
Sincerely,
John Miller, President of Resource Development Administration (RDA)
